Woman Reading, Childe Hassam, 1885

Daily Thoughts 02/08/2015

I spent some time reading information on special collections and weeding.  I also spent a little time looking at new books.

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook pages.

I have been reading more of Behind the Dream by Clarence B. Jones.  Clarence B. Jones is describing how the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson was Martin Luther King Jr.'s muse.  Clarence B. Jones also describes how the "I Have a Dream" speech was different than what was originally presented to the newspapers before he gave the speech.
